From the first moment Redboy takes the stage, you can prepare yourself for an unforgettable musical experience. Led by songstresses Maria Carter and Meredith McCall, Redboy takes rock and elevates to a level of quality rarely seen in Gainesville. As Anne Peters smoothly works her way across her violin, you can feel the vibrations deep into your soul. The low end is admirably managed by bassist Denise Burnsed and drummer T.J. Baker, both of whom can be seen enjoying each and every moment on stage.
Unlike many rock bands, Redboy’s lyrics are not to be underestimated, touching on subjects ranging from the haunting nightmares of “Ghosts” to the overtly facetious “Marlboro Man.” Next time you’re in the Gainesville area, be sure to check out one of their shows. You can also preview and purchase their latest CD, “Save Me” online at http://cdbaby.com/cd/redboy. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

* Full Disclosure: I seriously considered not writing this review so that there would never be the perception of a conflict of interest at MyFaveBands.com, especially since Denise Burnsed is also currently working as my wife’s bassist. However, I realized that denying a fantastic band like Redboy any additional exposure would be unfair to them.
